Zapiekanka, Polish baked baguette

Zapiekanka is an open bread sandwich with very simple toppings such as pan-fried mushrooms, onions, cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise. It is a very popular fast food choice in Poland, especially among students. I have eaten a lot of them during my university time :)

If you go to Poland you usually find them in small food booths that are on the street. It is very easy and quick to make. You can add any toppings on it, just use your imagination. Other popular topping choice in Poland include pickles and sauerkraut. Since I have a meat lover at home, I added salami to my Zapiekanka :)

Pan fry the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, spice it with salt and pepper. Cut the baguette in half, put 4 slices of salami on each half, then put on mushrooms and onions and as much cheese as you want. Place it in the oven until the cheese melts.
